Hi all!

I've put in an order for the new G4MP867 and now it hits me..

It doesn't have an S-Video outlet, right? I used to own a TiBook and it was great because I could connect it to my TV at home and use it for SVCDs, DVDs and so on..

Does anyone have a solution that will allow me to plug my G4 into the TV at home? I'd really appreciate any suggestions..

Thanks guys!
 
buy a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 64mb for that beast. now you've got s-video out.
that's what i did, anyway ^_^. i'll let you know if the one that apple provides (the ati radeon) has s-video tomorrow. i can't wait until it comes in!
 
i bought a smart little box that connected to the available DVI-port on my GeForce4Ti (I only use VGA for that one).

the box then serves up one S-Video, Video, SCART, VGA and one DVI connector.. it was cheap too, only $60.

sooo, now my setup is complete.
 
Could you post some info on this box. I have the same problem and your $60 box looks like an attractive alternative to buying a new video card.
 
I am not at home now, but if I remeber correctly it is called "Ultimate 2000" or something really tacky.

..

It's not specifically made for macs, it'll work with any VGA output.

Good luck!
 
you're right, it's the ultimate 2000! where did you get it so cheap, though? it's $99 everywhere i looked.
